Vintage bomber jacket may have fit her like a glove
but S gave not into temptation

More wacky Mackey. . .

H got to try on all the fun hats,
including this jaunty little pork pie number.
Quite fitting, since H is a fan of the English pork pies. . .

S took a fancy to this period piece
a Jane-Austen-meets-Death-to-Smoochy look

Perhaps this Scottish little ditty went too far,
either way, H started to get a little testy at this point. . .

Matching her Mum ‘tude for ‘tude . . .

“Hmmm…”

Dean and Frank would have been right at home
(if they were cross-dressers I mean . . .)

Across the street, a quaint candy shop beckoned. . .

The owner had taken this former open-air grocery
added glass blocks on its storefront,
refurbished the original wood floors
mixed vintage with custom cabinetry
and stocked the little space with all sorts
of exotic, gaily wrapped, psychedelic sweets. . .

By the time we ended up at Nu-Look Consignment,
the strain of all-day flapper shopping began to take its toll…

S looked va-va-voom in this number,
but she wasn’t buying it, either way.

At various times, unbeknownst to any of us,
one or the other of us would sneak over to Broder’s,
the fine Italian deli next door, in order to slake our thirst,
sate our hunger, or just drool at the Italian delicacies on display,
Our voyage for vintage was a no-frills expedition !

Remarkably, back in Billings,
Sari ends up finding this little number
for “forty dollah” on the Internets . . . Zounds !

Quite rightly, S is ghoulishly pleased with her purchase

Not only is it a beautiful beaded, sequined, vintage flapper dress,
it appears to be one of Jackie O’s designer’s haute couture pieces…

Albeit from the outsourced ‘House of Chang’

Post-Fair Visit

Three weeks after the Fair,
H and I visited the “Admin Too” building
to retrieve our “Creative Activities” entries. . .

Near the entrance, we spotted moss-covered Elvis.

Just as I whipped out my cell to record the phenomenon
two workers pulled up with a pickup,
and began unceremoniously removing Elvis from the perimeter !

When they spotted the camera,
one of the guys leaped back
like he’d been electrocuted.
